They are seeking innovative solutions for the CivTech 5 Challenge 8 titled "How can digital and IoT help the management of infection control in caring environments?" This initiative is part of the services industry, with a submission deadline set for 3rd August 2020. The procurement method follows an open procedure, inviting various stakeholders to submit their proposals aimed at enhancing infection control in care settings, which have become increasingly vital during and after the Covid-19 crisis. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and digital solutions, particularly those focusing on healthcare and data management. Companies engaged in developing innovative healthcare products, IoT systems, or software solutions for infection control will find this an ideal competitive landscape. With a substantial budget of £250,000 allocated for the project, it potentially supports smaller and innovative businesses to partner with a major public sector organisation, fostering growth and collaboration in the technology sector. ## Notice Eildon Housing Association is a leading care provider based in the south east of Scotland. Our care settings are residential-based and in-the-community, many of our customers are vulnerable, and have been regarded as at risk and/or shielded during the Covid-19 crisis. Infection control is vital to housing associations, as is the prevention of community transmission - and these will not go away once the first wave of Covid-19 subsides. In addition to our existing locations, we are expanding our services into new, purpose built locations with modern infrastructure and ICT. Across both existing locations and new-builds, we want to offer maximum safety and reassurance for our customers, their family members, our staff, other professionals across health and social care, and visiting members of the wider public. One way we can do this is to exploit the potential of the IoT Scotland LoRaWAN installed across our locations. Automated real-time data and analysis has the potential to provide a powerful and precise platform for infection control management, and to markedly improve every aspect of what we do. So how can Internet of Things (IoT) and tech make our homes safer to live and work in?

Central to the approach is co-production with the citizen. Part of the Scottish Government's Digital Directorate, CivTech's approach is helping transform public sector engagement with tech and innovation, delivering significant benefits to public services, producing genuine uplifts for the Scottish economy - and along the way, making lives better. Across the country there are problems public sector organisations would like to solve and in the current environment the need for smart, efficient and effective products has never been greater. The Scottish Government is aware innovation is a good way to create them and is committed to ensuring a large part of its tech spend goes to smaller, innovative businesses. This is where CivTech comes in. The CivTech Innovation Flow is designed to create solutions to public sector problems as quickly and effectively as possible. For you - whether you're an individual, team or company - it's an opportunity to take a Challenge, solve it, and win contracts with a blue-chip public sector organisation. You'll build a product, and a business to take it as far as possible. Because here's the kicker: the Challenges we issue aren't 'single organisation' problems - most exist worldwide. In short: open Challenges are set. Any organisation, team or individual can respond to them. Applications are assessed, and shortlisted proposals go into an Exploration Stage where they're developed further. The best go through to the Accelerator - a period of intensive work to create the solution, and through CivTech's unique business workshop system, a business capable of taking the emerging product to the world.
